Oceania Olympic Qualification Event

This event is to proceed in Sydney, Australia from on the 19th and 20th of December 2020. With the current border guidelines and restrictions (government advice not to travel, cost and uncertainty of travel, quarantine limits, cost of quarantine, 2 weeks quarantine on return to New Zealand), most of our athletes have not been able to attend. We will have 2 athletes competing, Chase Gatland and Cirrus Tan. Chase lives in Sydney and Cirrus has made the commitment to travel from New Zealand to compete. We all wish them well. We will advise on live viewing options when we know more.
